Beef shipments from Argentina to the European Union have dropped to almost zero, and sales to China have drastically decreased from last year.
Argentine beef exports have skyrocketed in recent years, boosting South American beef exports to $3 billion in 2019.
The coronavirus pandemic has halted global trade and demand, and Argentina has been impacted more as it struggles with recession and a debt crisis, according to a report by Reuters.
The country is now trying to focus on the domestic market.
